The old han tree in front of the Bay Horse
saloon, Hotel street, which has been for
years prominent landmark to the wayfarer
and shade to the weary, has recently been
denuded of all its branches, leaving nothing
but hideous gnarled trunk of about fifteen
feet in height. The vandal who accomplished
so much ought to have finished the job by
uprooting the stump. AS it now appears it
IS neither useful nor ornamental.

FLOCkS AND
Reports From the Eastern Wool Mar
kets-What a Great Falls Cor
respondent Says.

BosToN, June "A correspondent
writes to the american Wool Reporter from
Great Falls, Montana, as follows, under
date Of May 90: "ssteady progress is be-
ing made in this city, which was founded
about two years ago, in anticipation of the
construction Of two allied trunk lines. One
eff these, the st. Paul, Minneapolis s. Man
itoba, is being built in this direction at 1.-THE
rate of four miles a day, and will be here
in September. The other line is the Mon
tana Central, which will connect this city
with Helena and Butte. Tt is expected
that this will become a great wool market
in time. Mr.. Paris Gibson, who is at the
head of the toWnsite company, is widely
Known as a leading authority on wool
growing, in which he was formerly en-
gagged on a large scale. The opening of
The Manitoba extension may cause wool
1uyers in MOI thern Montana to forward
t1e bulk OF their wool by that route. Mr..
Gibson estimates that two million pounds
of wool will be handled here. He under
s .ands the needs of tia trade, and will eg
ercise his influence to make Great Falls a
good market for all concerned
Regarding the Boston and other markets,
the Ameracan Wool Reporter says:
seThe impossibility of replacing any
wool now in this market at a profit by
purchases in the interior has led to higher
quotations in Poston; and the net qnes-
ton is whether the goods market will res
pond, or whether the experience and
losses OF some previous seasons will be
duplicated by those who are buying wool
1t present prices in the interior, o. ever in
Boston. The whole condition of the goods
market to-day is against any Advance in
wool; and, as our domestic manufacturers
have hitherto found great difficulty in
competing with foreigl fabrics, wat will
they do with higher prices Of raw material
nd no corresponding ira provement in the
cloth and clothing trades? Moreover,
here is q declining tendency abroad, and
late adriees from London intimate that

OUR PLATFORM


OFFICE OF DAILY GLOBE, ST. PAUL,
Nav IA, 1787.-Dear sir-WiI you please
send BY return mail an expression Of you
preference for president and yice-presi-
dent. Yours truly, LEWIS BAKER.
The above letter after making a
long circuit has reached us. We
are pleased to see that our opinion is
desired, but of what value is it? We
are citizens of aterritory which is all
lowed no voice in the choice of presi-
dent. In open defiance of the prinei-
pie that taxation without representa-
ton is tyranny, this territory must
stand aside ~listlessly, while even the
untutored darkies, whom on veterans
helped to set free are in a position
to beside by their votes who shall be
president and what taxes shall be
imposed.
This wrong continues although
our territory exceeds in extent all
New England and has a larger adult
population than Nevada, which. like
Colorado in 1876, may by her three
votes decide the presidency. It con-
tinues although we have more people
than California and Texas, which
were both admitted to the dignity Of
statehood without going through ter
ritorial probation-a condition which
did very we'll when the Blackfeet In
dams roamed over the site Of Great
Falls, and no white man had beheld
the grandeur of our c~ataracts or done
aught to utilize their almost limitless
power. The wrong continues although
Jul territory is peopled by Intelligent,
enterprising citizens, who add annual
" $40, 00O 1000 to the national wealth
blythe production of the precious
and base metals, and have established
here farming, grazing and wool-grow-
ing industries Of great extent and inn
p%ortance.
No! we shall not cause "ghouIish
glee" in the Globe office by placing
on record Il preference with those
from commonwealth whose votes
count in the election of a president.
We are more concerned for the tri-
umph of principles than Of men, and
W. submit some planks for a platform
which we believe would meet with
the moral support of Montana.
L. The immediate admission as
states of Dakota, Washington and
Montana.
II. The annexation to Montana Of
the panhandle of idaho, in accord
ance with the wish of the people in
that region.
III. Ample encouragement for the
mining and wool-growing industries.
~. A broad, liberal land policy,
designed to encourage settlement
and shield citizens who act in good
faith from vexations proceedings.
v. The repeal of the alien land
law, SO far as regards mines.
VI. Equal rights for the white
man and the Indians The millions
Of acres now peopled by a few thous-
and Indians to be thrown open for
settlement, with due regard for treaty
rights.

ground for any substantial improvement in
values in the immediate future. The of
ferings at the London sales, which open
next Tuesday, will comprise 100000 bales
of Australian and Cape woods.

L QUIET IN PHILADELPHIA.
Another very quiet week has passed in
Philadelphia, but there has been a better
inquiry and with larger supplies it would
have been possible to have done a better
| business. The offerings, however, have
continued and the scarcity of the grades
| most wanted has restricted sales. Buyers
| are still looking for low and taree-eighth
woods. All arrivals of new and unwasfed
meet with ready sale, but the arrivals are
small because dealers do net care to run
the risk of loss by stocking up at present
| prices in the interior. At the rates now
asked at most points there is NO margin
for transportation, and other. charges are
sdded to cost. How long this condition
Of affairs will continue is still an open
question, the general answer to which is
| eolored by the interest of the party who
| makes the reply.
In New York the past week has been a
broken one, but prices are quite firm; and
old stock is disappearing, wherever the
owners are willing to let it go at present
prices.
The sales for the week include $4,000
lbs medium Oregon at 25c; 10000 lbs fine
territory at 21c; $4,000 TBS medium Mon
tana at 25e; 10000 lbs Georgia at 31c032c.

THE BILLINGS-BENTON CONTEST.
The Billings Gazette contains a letter
from Traffic Manager Hannaford of the
Northern Pacific, dated st. Paul, May 81.
n which he says:
"The wool rates from Benton are pre-
fisely the same as from Billings Or Livings.
ton to all points east, and I do not see how
Benton will be able to secure any wool
that is not directly tributary to that point.
We have an arrangement with the Benton
inc Of steamers by which they will run in
connection with us this season, and | do
not think they contemplate making any
rates with the Manitoba road. That line
has as yet 500 miles of track to build be-
| fore it will reach Denton
The above letter, which was addressed
to Mr.. Hersey of the Billings Board of
Trade, has caused some stir in Fort Benton
where it is denied that the steamers are
limited to the Northern Pacific traffic.
The track is now beyond Fort Buford,
and therefore much nearer to Fort Ben
ton than Mr.. Hannaford states.

A Smart Calf.

w. G. Shelton, Esq, of Erin, had
fine young milk cow with her second
calf. At first she gave lots of rich
milk and butter for the whole family
But all at once the flow seemed to
fail and she didn't give any at all,
scarcely. She didn't milk worth a
cent. Now it would take a shrewd
calf to outwit Shelton. He suspected
foul play, and concluded to watch and
see what was the matter. His in
vestigations were rewarded with a
discovery that cleared up the whole
mystery. There was a pair of draw
bars to the lot in which the calf ran,
and the latter could just squeeze his
head and neck through the space be-
tween two of the bars at one place.
He would thrust his head through,
and the COW turned herself around SO
that he could suck her through the
bars! Finding the calf making such
good thing of it, Shelton indignant
ly put stop to his fun by moving
the young gentleman to another
place and he now languishes and
pines thoughtfully for his former
abundance and enjoyment.

AL Went Merry as Marriage Bell.
The excursion to Dover on the 30th
ult. Decoration Day. was a decided
success. There were seventy-fve
tickets sold at Erin for Cumberland
City, and 1t has been estimated that
over one hundred went down from
Erin, besides those who went through
by land. Those who designed at
tending, according to previous ar
rangement, accompanied by the Erin
brass band, took the train on Monday
morning for Cumberland City, at
which point they got on the Gracey,
which had been chartered specially
for the occasion. There were sup
posed to be $50 or 800 people aboard
of the boat and bound for Dover, at
which place they landed in due time
and repaired to the cemetery, where
they had pleasant time at the dec
Grafton. 1t is said that seven or eight
hundred people were in the cemetery
at one time. The brass band accom-.
panied the excursion both going and
returning, and awoke the echoes amid
the bluff banks and beautiful hills
through which the serene and placid
Cumberland flows. 1t rained from
about II a. m. to p. M, but the
storm did not materially interfere
with the ceremonies. The band gave
one of their exhibitions in the even
ing, and also at night, each of which
was largely attended. The crowd
dined at hotels in Dover, and re-
turned in the evening well satisfied
with their trip.
